Chapter 725: AN EARLY LABOR
"Call Grace!" Aliana immediately shouted, as Ethan and Jace came over to them.
Zephyr shifted into his beast again and rushed toward the other shelter to fetch Grace over. Another fear gripped their heart when they saw Iris was in so much pain, bending her body, hugging her stomach with tears streamed down her face.
She kept saying she was in pain and to help her babies. She was no longer in her reverie state, so did Cane. The lycan had withdrawn and Ethan could see that. He knew it was Lu when he saw the black wisp and his red eyes, at the time he fought the man that looked exactly like Alan.
Everyone gasped when they saw red stained Iris’s lower dress when Cane picked her up to be carried to the side, where the warriors and the knights had taken off their cloaks and gathered them in one place, while Aliana rearranged it for Iris to lay down. She was trembling to see how much the luna was in so much pain.
The knights and the warriors turned their body and left the spot out of respect, since they wouldn’t be much help if they stayed too, thus Cedric took the knights to create a perimeter, while the warriors scoured the area to prevent a monster attack again, just in case there was still a monster around this area.
Their only wish was; there was no more portal that would spit the monsters for them to handle. They had lost so many people right now and the number of their magic users decreased to only twelve that left.
"Cane... it’s hurt..." Iris cried. "Our babies... check our babies..."
Cane gathered the cloaks and put it behind her back to support her body, as he held her hand tightly. "It’s okay. Grace is on her way here. The babies will be fine."
Cane looked calm, but there was no one, who knew the growing rage within him. The storm and turmoil that brew inside his mind and heart.
All of the bad memories flashed back before his eyes when he had to lose his first mate and their child. Yet, Cane tried to suppress that feeling, he tried his hardest to stay in the present and didn’t let his past to catch up with him, because right now, Iris and their babies needed him.
"Grace will be here." Cane kept his voice even, albeit he wanted to curse and rush toward the other shelter and get Grace here right away.
